Few modes equal that of wrapping
them in buttered paper and cooking on a

SOME women are not dist 4rbed by
little Incidents. Take an Ohio lady
for instance. She took her baby and
went to the theater, against her hus
bands wishes, and he followed her.
In the lobby of the theater he struck
her, and when a young man interfered
he thrashed him. During therow some
one yelled "Fire," and there was q
panic. Finally the police hauled the
husband away to the lookup, the au-
dience got over the fire scare, and the
woman who had been the cause of all
the disturbance sat in one OF the front
seats, enjoying the show during the
entire evening. The baby cried once
Or twice, some men made mean re-
marks, but she did not mind them any
more than she did the little Incidents
of the early part OF the evening. She
was not a bit excited even during the
panic caused by the cry of fire.

THE English government proposes
to close up the Irish newspapers by
imprisoning all their editors. Some Of
the English editors want to prevent
the Pail Mall Gazette from exposing
the scandals OF the English upper
classes by urging the newsdealers to
"boycott" it. Down in Mexico, &C.
cording to the accusation OF the Re-
publican newspapers there, the oppo-
sition in the provinces is suppressing
free speech and free newspapers by
poisoning school teachers and editors.
But none of these methods will really
hinder the Irish from getting Home
Rule, the English public from learning
the rottenness of the nobility, or the
Mexicans from discussing the advant-
age of a republican form of govern
ment.

Stole $4,000 in JeweIry.

Jewelry valued in all at $4,000 has
been stolen piece-meal in the last three
years and a half from the jewelry man
ufacturing firm of Wheeler. Parsons &
Hays, at No. 2 Maiden Lane, New
York. The firm employs large num-
Der of men. Private detectives were
engaged and every effort made to dis
cover the thief, but without result. At
length Inspector Byrnes' aid was
called on and two of his de-
tectives were detailed to the case.
Their suspicious were fixed upon Joseph
G. A. Kidd, negro porter who had
been in the employ Of the firm since
1881 and whose honesty had been I'M
questioned. They found that his family
lived in Brooklyn in style that his
wages of 80 week would not justify;
that he had deposits in several banks
and that he was a frequent policy
player. Although not detected in steal
ing anything he was arrested and con-
fessed that he had taken the missing
jewelry, melted it down and sold the
gold

connected with a telephone receiver,
which in turn was connected with an
other wire at the end of which was a
probing needle. This needle was in
serted in the wound and an electric cur
rent established. The needle was
pushed in through the wound until a
slight clicking sound heard bv the op-
Grating surgeon who held the receiver at
his ear notified him that the current had
been broken by the needle touching the
bullet sought for. Further probing
showed that the bullet had been. correct
ly located in Schrnder's liver. The
probe used is an improvement on that
of Prof. Bell, with which it was sought
to locate the bullet in President Gar
fields body, but which failed because,
as Prof Bell explained, it was too crude
ly constructed.

TORN FROM THEIR HOMES.

Additional Particulars Regarding the
Eviction of Iowa Farmers.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Oct. S.-The brief
Associated Press telegram from Wash
ington reciting sundry cruel evictions
in Northwestern Iowa has been more
than doubted here in all quarters How
ever, one of the most reliable citizens
of O'Brien County, asked as to the
truthfulness of the dispatch, instantly in
dorsed it. In regard to the English land
company which is said to be turning
American citizens out of their homes, he
said: "They are an old firm, organized
into the Western Land Company. They
bought from the old McGregor Western,
or its assigns, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul and the Sioux City Companies,
some lands granted to the McGregor
Western in 1864, but never earned.
When Teller was secretary of the in
terror, he. and the land commission
er both declared the lands unearned,
and promised to open them for settle
ment. On the faith of these declarations
and promises, some settlers went on
these lands and built their homes. The
English syndicate now has the railroad
title and proposes to. keep possession.
At least one hundred families have
been evicted. Before they get through
the number will be increased to 40.

ON A CHOLERA SHIP.
Passenger on the A1es1a Tells of the
Horrors of the Voyage.

Horrors of the Voyage.
New YORK, Oct. 6.-The Rev. DIR.
Maynard, the lecturer, was one of the
passengers on the plague-stricken
steamer Alesia, which arrived here a
couple of weeks ago. He was seen by q
reporter to-day and told the following
story Of the sad voyage: II do not
know the exact number of emigrants
who were taken on board at Naples, but
it must have been about 600. Among
them was party of 40 from Palermo, a
pIague-stricken city. None of the few
cabin passengers were, of course aware
of the occurrence at the time. During
the earlier part of the passage all cir
cumstances seemed to conspire to pro-
duce pleasure to all on board. We were
gay company, the Italian emigrants
particularly so. The discomtorts
attending an emigrant voyage seemed to
have no effect upon their spirits. They
chatted and laughed and sang and
danced all day long and we'll into the
nights, which were made more pleasant
bv moonlight. Among the emigrants
! we're many of the wealthier class of Ital-
ians and their really beautiful singing
added greatly to the charm of these de-
lightful evenings.
"We were about twelve days out
when the plague broke out. A young
Neapolitan died. It was given out that
heart disease was the cause, and there
was at the time no ground for supposing
otherwise, and yet. in some unaccount-
able way, all on board ship became
seized with misgiving. Nothing on the
part of the captain, who was particu-
farlv jolly fellow, or of the other officers
indicated that the Neapolitan's death
was out of the ordinary run of such
misfortunes, yet it caused a sudden fear
to fall upon the emigrants, the like Of
which [ had never before in a very long
and very varied experience of travel
met with. From that time not a sound
of mirth was heard. The dancing was
ended. Not note was sung.
'The funeral of the Neapolitan was
a sad and impressive sight, and if it was
possible, it increased the general dejec-
ton. I have no doubt that the condi-
ton of mind Of these people had good
deal to do with the swift Roadway which
the disease made after it began its
work. I never saw such complete sur
render to misfortune as these people
made, and it presented all the more
startling appearance on account OF the
light-heartedness which they had at
first displayed. They seemed as limp
as rags. They made no struggle with
fate, but sat or moved about listlessly
and lifelessly, and seemed actually to in
vite death by the dread it.
''I cannot give any particulars regard
ing the progress of the disease or the
number of victims. The discipline on
board was perfect and the doctor and
his assistants were untiring in their eff
forts. There were no funerals after the
first. Concealment of the true state OF
affairs lasted but short time, and the
victims were given to the deep one after
another. I believe that no one really
knows how many died on board; every
day brought its fatalities"

THE coroner's Jury which investi-
gated the Exeter Theater fire, by
which over 100 lives were lost, GEN.

building to be used as a theater and
added that 'sthe jury unanimously

freshment to them for several hours

country" The coroner made them
strike this sentence out. The English
men could not help thinking of their
beer even when thinking of so many
dead bodies.

The coroner's jury investigating the
English Midland Railroad collision
has found verdict of manslaughter
against the engineer and fireman of
the train that crashed into the excur-
sion train. This is more blame than
the American ury usually puts upon
anybody's shoulders, but according
to the evidence in the Midland case,
the higher officials were guilty of relax
ing their precautionary system when
the crowded road most called for it.

SUNK AT HER ANCHORS.
Foundering of the Jessie Scarth Near
Manistee.

Manistee.
MAN1sTEE, Mich, Oct 5.-The schoon-
er Jessie Scarth, of Toronto, bound from
Chicago to Midland with $4,000 bushels
Ofcorn, foundered at her anchorage about
ten miles northwest of here last night.
The vessel left Chicago Saturday night
and came to anchor on Monday after
noon. She rode the storm all right till
last night when she began to leak,
badly. The crew set signals for assist
ance, but the halyards were carried
away and they could only make the
flag fast in the rigging, and, as the
weather was thick, it could not be seen
from here although the saving crew
were on the lookout. The Scarth's
yawl was carried away from the davits
on Monday night, but was secured again
minus all the oars and in damaged con-
dition. The boat was bailed out and the
crew of six men and one woman were
obliged to take to it as their
only means of escape at 10
o'clock last night, having only
some pieces of boards and the sides off
ladder for oars and steering gear. They
drifted with the wind and sea and about
midnight were discovered by the life
saving patrol just at the mouth Of the
harbor. A line was thrown to
them and they were landed in
safety by the life-saving crew. If
the boat had been carried 200
feet either way it would
have been drawn into the breakers and
capsized. The captain took the tug
Wheeler and hawser and started out to
see if they could get the vessel into
shallow water before she went down,
but she sank before they got there,
She lies in about thirty fathoms of water.

only to look back in their fright to see
the complete destruction of all their

the scene of quite a sensation. Pastor
Rev. w. A. Gambler delivered very

tered a protest, in a short speech
against the general character of the

ance showed much suppressed indigna-
ton, but her words were clear and dis
tinct. The matter has created a great

at 473 Canal Street, the house being
robbed, its tenants chloroformed and
bound, and the building fired. The first
floor of the building was occupied by
Frank Macha as residence, saloon and
billiard hall, the upper story by five

last night at II o'clock and went to bed.
Two hours later noise in the saloon
reused the lady occupying the front

she saw three men place bundle of pa
per under sink and apply match
to it and fly. The saloon was
enveloped in smoke, and Mrs. Macha
had been bound hand and foot, and was
endeavoring to arouse her husband. He
had been chloroformed. The tenants
were aroused, and the fire was extin-
guished. Macha was robbed of $l43
which he had placed under his pillow.
